People love The Mandalorian. Well, they love “Baby Yoda”- that’s for sure. While The Child may have made it to mainstream audiences, Star Wars fans are really into the entire package. The Mandalorian gives us the story, the acting, the grittiness, and the Star Wars feel that many wish had been captured better in the recent latest films. Season 2 of the popular show wrapped up filming right before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, and soon filming will resume for Season 3. But could there be a Mandalorian movie? See this post on Variety.com for more from Pedro Pascal and Jon Favreau on the future of The Mandalorian and the potential for a movie: “The line is blurring now,” said Favreau. “Things that you would have only seen in the movie theater, you’re seeing on streaming, and I think it could go the other way as well.” Whether that…
YouTuber creates real-life ‘Star Wars’ lightsaber that slices steel
What Star Wars fan doesn’t love lightsabers? They are iconic with the franchise and in my years as a fan and a writer, I’ve seen so many lightsabers – at conventions, guild meetups, costume parties and even for Halloween – but none hold a candle to this one. It’s one-of-a-kind, at least for now. A real working plasma lightsaber. It’s expensive, it’s intricate, and this engineer did it! He and his team have been creating lightsabers for over four years now, but this is their first working plasma-based lightsaber that actually slices through steel. It’s over 3,000 degrees! And the best part? He made a video to tell and show you exactly how they did it. Be warned: you probably can’t do this at home. But it’s super cool to see how they do it! The video of him making this, which is part of his “Make it Real” series,…
Star Wars Halloween Costumes 2020
*This post may contain affiliate links 2020 has been an unusual year and in many parts of the world the Covid-19 pandemic is still keeping people indoors. If you can’t go trick or treating or to your favorite Halloween parties, you can still enjoy the holiday by dressing up. There are many alternative celebration ideas such as Zoom parties or online Halloween costume contests, to name a few. Others are choosing for smaller get-togethers, or outdoor events where they can still practice social distancing. Whatever your plans are, you can do it in Star Wars style if you choose one of these or related costumes. I’m a real sucker for cosplay and homemade costumes but not everyone has the budget, the time, or the ability to build their own. If that’s you, then I invite you to check out Amazon. If you have Prime, you can get any of these…
7 Reasons to play mobile porn games and stay at home
There are a lot of reasons to not want to leave the house right now. It should come as no surprise that people are looking for things to do with all of their free time. It can seem tough to keep yourself occupied, but that’s only because you’re not playing mobile sex games with all of your free time. 7. There’s a Pandemic First and foremost, there’s a pandemic on. It’s awful. You can’t be within six feet of another human being. If you go out, you have to wear a mask. If you have asthma, letting someone breathe on you can get you killed. That’s why you should just open up mobileporngames.com and stay at home. It’s just safer that way. 6. Sex is Hard to Come By Let’s face facts here. It’s not like you can just walk out the door and get laid. That’s just not how…

Martinez-Hoadley said the game was so immersive, she…
Star Wars Pinball Readies to Change the Game at Home
I am a HUGE fan of pinball and have been for as long as I can remember. Star War pinball games are top of my list and I try to play as many of them as I can find. Unfortunately, it’s not always as easy to find a great arcade these days. As technology changes, our video games adapt. Zen Studios has been delivering digital pinball games set in the Star Wars galaxy since 2013 and they are seeking to bridge this gap. They’ve been making Star Wars pinball games on everything from the iconic films, most popular characters, specific battles and more. They have nearly 20 different themed tables for fans to enjoy. And if you can’t find an arcade near you, they’ve also made their games available on all platforms from PC to smartphones and everything in between. With each new release, the experiences change and evolve to fit the latest…
Star Wars Squadrons: A Review
Is Star Wars: Squadrons finally the new Star Wars game we’ve all been hoping for? Since it’s release on October 2nd, reviews of the game have been quite favorable. I’ve seen little, if any, complaints from people who have played it. If anything, the complaints have been that it’s an amazing game in a limited package and fans are wondering how that will play out in the future or for expanded content of the game. Let’s take a look for ourselves. First, for those who don’t know, what is Star Wars: Squadrons? Star Wars: Squadrons is a space combat game set in the Star Wars universe developed by Motive Studios and published by Electronic Arts.

SWG vs SWTOR – Which Is BEST in 2020?
Do you prefer SWG or SWTOR? If you’re looking for a game that allows you to immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe and roleplay while completing different objectives, which one should you pick? In this video, Napyet will breakdown the major differences between SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) & SWTOR (Star Wars The Old Republic). They’re both classic MMOs but which is best in 2020? This is actually a debate we saw a lot more back when SWTOR was new and SWG had been shut down and did not have emulators available yet. A lot of big fans of SWG were (rightfully) upset with SWTOR for bumping their favorite game off the scene. SWTOR itself has come a long way since then and is in many ways not like the same game it was at launch. But now, in 2020, both games are available to play through different venues. The…

The making of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, interview with the actors and the developers of all the versions of the game. Check it out here: As said in the video, they watched the movies to help them generate ideas on what they wanted to do for the games.

They also explain the importance of sticking to canon but adding new ideas and concepts to the game. They talk about the process of running ideas by Lucas and getting input for their team on how to create different aspects of the game and stay keeping in the Star Wars…
Quest for the Best: 3 Must-Have Supplies for a Great Home Gaming Experience
When the term “gamer” is heard, many people picture an isolated teen with bad skin and a scowl, or the forty-something guy with greasy hair living in his mom’s basement. But the truth is, more than 2.5 billion people on the planet self identify as gamers, according to Newzoo’s 2019 Global Games Market Report. And 46 percent of those individuals are not pimply 16-year-old boys or 30-year-old subterranean creepers — they’re adult women. As these stats suggests, gaming is a diverse community and a massively popular industry. In the year of ‘Rona, when much of the population still lingers at home, online players of all walks of life are in pursuit of an illustrious home gaming experience fit for a king. If this quest is one you choose to accept, here is the definitive list of needs required to create a better, faster, more enjoyable gaming experience in your own…
The Grit And Gore Of ‘KOTOR’ Shows How Star Wars Games Should Be Made
We love KOTOR and we’ve made that pretty clear in our posts over the years. KOTOR has seemed to take on a life of its own in the fandom that grew around it. And you just don’t see that anymore today. The Star Wars games that are being made aren’t hitting those same tones and creating the same feelings in the fans. What was it that made KOTOR so special? Sara Elsam has written a really great piece for LAD Bible that basically expresses everything I feel about KOTOR, and how it shows us the model for what Star Wars games should be like today. They basically say everything I would say already, so rather than repeat, here’s a snippet from Sara: “And in Knights of the Old Republic, you get to pick your destiny. You can be bad – like, really bad. Sith bad. Want to force someone to kill their best…

This is the way: Star Wars fans raise over $10,000 in support of trans rights
Here’s a happy news story for a change: Star Wars fans raise over $5,000 in support of trans rights! It all began when over the past week or so, Mandalorian actor Gina Carano’s social media posts stirred up controversy. She seemed to have a lot to say about a lot of things, and not all of it was kind or flattering. But Star Wars fans are a special breed, and definitely passionate, and decided to do something to counter the hurtful language she was using. A group of Star Wars fans decided to come together and create a GoFundMe to support trans rights. Within the first two hours of creation, they had already blown past their initial goal. At the time I am writing this, they’re over $10,000 which will go to support the Transgender Law Center, an organization that “changes law, policy, and attitudes so that all people can live safely, authentically, and…
SWTOR Devs talk 6.1.4, PTS, PvP Toxicity, Credit Sellers
Are you still playing and enjoying SWTOR? You may love this story on vulkk.com from the Devs about 6.1.4, the PTS, credit sellers, PvP toxicity and more. On September 11th, the community manager Eric Musco and design director Chris Schmidt joined Aviriia, a content creator and inspired PvPer you may be familiar with, to talk about the game and the points above. They went live on Twitch to discuss these hot button topics in SWTOR. If you missed the Twitch stream, Vulkk has a nice writeup that summarizes all the main points that were disused. You can find that here, but here’s a snippet: SWTOR 6.1.4 planned for October, will be available on PTS soon SWTOR’s latest update 6.1.3 released earlier this week. The next patch will be 6.1.4. Based on the number (and the Roadmap) you know that this one will not contain any story progression. 6.1.4 will bring the Feast…
The Mandalorian Season 2 Trailer Dropped
The new season of The Mandalorian starts streaming Friday, October 30, only on Disney+. I don’t know about you, but I’m very excited for it! If you’ve been living under a rock the past few months and have not seen Season 1 yet, there’s still plenty of time to catch up before Season 2 releases, and you can find out why people are calling this series better than all the new Star Wars movies combined.

Oscars New Rules For Diversity and Inclusion for Best Picture Consideration
New Oscars eligibility rules for Best Picture consideration are creating confusion within studios, who are left wondering what impact (if any) on their movies it will have in the consideration for 2021 Oscars nomination. In the meanwhile, critics are divided. Some call these rules into question because they detract from a movie’s merit, and put an unreasonable emphasis on quotas over quality instead. While others are left wondering whether these rules go far enough or whether they’re simply setting too low of a threshold, one which frankly already is in play. In other words, the Oscars are seeming to be doing something but in reality perpetuating the status quo. As with any attempt at change, there’s bound to be supporters as well as critics. What the Oscars have attempted isn’t perfect, by any stretch of the imagination, but in spirit it’s nevertheless a step in the right direction. The Oscars…
NOT ALONE – Star Wars Short Film
It’s fan film time again and this one is a bit different from some that I bring you and I absolutely love it! This short will not take up a lot of your time so stop whatever you’re doing right now and give it a watch. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did. I’m happy to bring you another Star Wars Short Film today, this one from Cinematic Captures, titled NOT ALONE. It’s a very short film, but says a lot with just a little. In preparation for the construction of the Second Death Star’s shield generator, scouts are sent to the forest moon of Endor, however it’s soon apparent they’re not alone. See it here: So, what did you think? It’s really well done, paints a perfect (hilarious/fun) picture, and the effects, music, voice and everything is spot-on. It’s little gems like this that make me proud to be…
The 5 Best Things About Star Wars Galaxies!
I have written a lot of posts about Star Wars Galaxies here on the site. That’s because it’s one of the most beloved Star Wars games of our time, and it has an interesting relationship with SWTOR, which we began writing about a couple of years before it launched. There are lots of reasons to love SWG, and ask any fan and they’ll likely rattle off an entire list for you. But one thing that nearly every fan will say about SWG is that it was the community that really set it apart from other games. We have a video to sahre with you today from Napyet on this very topic. A totally subjective list of the 5 best things in Star Wars Galaxies! Massively Overthinking: Is open-world housing a failed experiment?
